Slud is an agricultural, nonindustrial world still lacking adequate means to expand its economy.
- As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
- It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
- This is a "low technology" world with technology competencies well below technology standards for Charted Space.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Frell Subsector of Halcyon Sector.

System data
The system primary is Grind, an ordinary yellow main sequence star. The inner system consists of (I, II, III) three small rocky vacuum worlds. (IV) Slud orbits in the habitable zone and is designated as the mainworld. (V) a thin atmosphere world, (VI) a small icy vacuum world, (VII) a sparse rocky planetoid belt, (VIII, IX) two large ringed gas giants, and (X) a sparse rocky planetoid belt form the outer system. Both of the gas giants and most of the larger rocky worlds retain families of satellites.
Mainworld data
Orbital distance 0.7 AU. Diameter 9600 km, gravity 0.75 G. Atmosphere thin. Hydrosphere 40%.
Mainworld geography and topography
Much of the northern hemisphere is dominated by the shallow Ocean of Mud. The southern hemisphere is dominated by the Transpolar Alps, an ice-capped range of high peaks with long rugged chains of mountains and uplands radiating from it towards the equator. Between the upland regions are broad plains dotted with lakes and seas. The largest of these is the Great Temperate Hollow, more than 4000 km across and lying along the equator: the Hollow is the site of human settlement on the world.
Native lifeforms
Extensive native life. Flora green. Fauna follows general body pattern HBS-T-LN-LL-T, skeleton internal structure, hemolymph fluids, skin exterior.
History & Background (Dossier)
No information yet available.
World starport
Slud has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which includes amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
World technology level
Slud possesses a Technology Level of TL–5.
- Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Telephone, radio, and television.
- Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Electricity, hydrocarbon internal combustion, and the most fundamental atomic energy.
- Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
- Land: Ground cars or automobiles and tracked vehicles.
- Water: Large ships and submersibles with steel hulls.
- Air: Early aircraft including seaplanes and very early unmanned rockets.
World government
Slud is governed by an Impersonal Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government is another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy dictates government policy and its execution. Government leadership is reduced to little more than figureheads and does not select the bureaucracy leadership or its members.
